2021 Budget - Engineering, Construction and Public Works

The Engineering, Construction and Public Works Division co-ordinates and manages:

• the maintenance, rehabilitation and development of the City’s road and related infrastructure, sidewalks, conveyance sewer system and stormwater management facilities
• inspection review of development construction activities
• the City’s streetlight infrastructure
• repair and maintenance services seven days a week on a 24-hour basis for the City's fleet of vehicles and equipment
• Winter control for roads, sidewalks and certain trails - depending upon storm conditions, 18 plow routes, two graders, nine sidewalk plow routes and several loaders may be simultaneously deployed for winter control activities

Highlights

Through the Capital Asset Management Plan approach, the programming and coordination of capital projects allows the City's infrastructure renewal process to make the best use of capital dollars. 

The next phase of the streetlight LED switch over program will evaluate the City's decorative fixtures to determine feasibility of retrofitting these fixtures to LED.

In 2020, the City will continue delivering the City's road and related capital budget through in-house design and contract administration efforts as well as the management of consulting engineers working at various stages of project planning and construction.
